Wading my way through OBD changes.
I have set:
TFDIR_PART = $(TFDIR)Part/
and have files in this location, but the families and parts don't appear when I start OBD.
Any reason why this would happen?
Hello Bear,
Just tested it, I could see parts and families in Part & Family Editor.
Is there any error message that you are getting?

No, just empty editor, but the path is showing. Weird.
That's what I want Steve, not interested in 3 locations for my build when I only need 1. Is that an issue?
As long as all of the parts are available as required - some components do have Family:Part defined at the DG catalog level - no, I don't think it should matter. FWIW, our delivered \worksets\Workset_Name\Standards\Part and \WorkSpaces\Building_Examples\Standards\Part folders are usually empty anyway, leaving everything at the dataset level.
Since TFDIR_PART is simply = $(TFDIR)Part, how is TFDIR itself defined?
That was my take as well Steve. When we build a dataset from scratch we usually take a copy of the AU dataset and change it to suit. I'm going through that now, but finding lots of speed bumps. I'll play a bit more and see why these aren't appearing in the editor and report back.
Thanks,
Sounds like a plan. One other thing though - can you check whether TFDIR_PART is being defined more than once to the same location, and if so, whether the operator is the same in both instances?
Will do.
